There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Roxboro to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
